*** BASIC CONCEPTS ***

"Cappuccino Web Framework"
Johnny Wey

Description

It's 2009 and all the late-1990's hype of the browser as a "rich application platform" is finally starting to materialize. All is not well, however: developing in Javascript is a chore, there are still significant differences between browsers, and creating the rich, desktop experience users are expecting is a difficult task. Enter Cappuccino: a new and exciting RIA framework that helps align the web development experience with that on the desktop and helps create fantastic user interfaces. In this talk, Johnny will explain why Cappuccino matters, what it looks like, how it works, and how to hook it up with your existing Java services.
Speaker

Johnny Wey has been working with computers and software development for money since he wrote his first for-profit C++ program at 14. Since then, he has worked with sorts of frameworks and platforms to solve a myriad of problems. Currently, he works as an engineer in the telecom domain using the latest and greatest tools in the open-source Java world.

We will be meeting at the Tivoli Building
which is closest to the Pepsi Center side
of the campus.

Driving:
The closest parking is in the Tivoli Parking Structure.
The first time we were on-campus some of our
attendees were charged the same rate as the Pepsi Center
Events game parking. If you park in the garage, explain
that you are there for an on-campus event sponsored by
the Metro State Computer Science Department and CCD Life
and that you are to pay the same rate as students attending
other on-campus events.

Do not park in the NE lot - that is for students only.

If you are going to stay late (we often go to Old Chicago
nearby on Market Street after the meeting) you may want to
park in the uncovered parking lot just West of the Tivoli.

Light Rail:
You can take the Light Rail to either the Pepsi Center
or to the Colfax and Auraria Stop.

From the Pepsi Center Light Rail Stop:
Head South, cross Auraria Parkway at the Light.
The Tivoli is the first building as you get to the campus.

From the Auraria Colfax Station:
Head NW on Main Street, past the Library and Media Center.
Continue North until you get to the Tivoli building.
